SORA 2

Sora 2, one paragraph deep

Sora 2 is OpenAI’s realism flagship: physics-aware motion that respects cause and effect, cameo injection that holds a person’s likeness from reference photos, and synchronized audio — ambience, effects, rough dialogue — rendered with the picture. It’s the flagship you A/B against Veo 3 on every important prompt.

The OpenClips angle

The internet’s most-searched model is also one of the most comparison-shopped. Our answer to “should I use Sora 2” is empirical: run your prompt on Sora 2, Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3 in one composer session, watch the takes disagree, keep the winner. No OpenAI subscription, no separate wallet, no export-import ritual. And when Sora 2.5 or 3.0 lands, it appears in your composer the same way this page appeared in the index — early, priced, ready.

Frequently asked questions
